3. SOUNDBITE (English) Miroslav Jenča, Assistant Secretary-General for Europe, Central Asia and the Americas, United Nations:
“The latest developments follow the already disturbing reports of troops from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea being deployed to the conflict zone. On 21 November, the Ukrainian city of Dnipro was hit by a ballistic intermediate-range Russian missile. The location hit was reportedly an industrial area southwest of Dnipro city. According to the Ukrainian authorities, the missile was equipped with six warheads, each with six sub-munitions, and took only 15 minutes to arrive from the launch site in the Astrakhan region of the Russian Federation, some 1,000 kilometers away from Dnipro city.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Miroslav Jenča, Assistant Secretary-General for Europe, Central Asia and the Americas, United Nations:
“The cost of this war is already too high for the people of Ukraine, and for the world – and it is growing by the day. We must reverse the dangerous cycle of escalation.”

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Robert A. Wood, Alternate Representative for Special Political Affairs in the United Nations, United States:
“Suffering more than 1000 Russian casualties per day, Russia introduced over 10,000 DPRK troops to the battlefield. In the past year, at Russia’s request, the DPRK has also unlawfully transferred over 18,000 containers of munitions and munitions-related materiel and more than 100 ballistic missiles for use against Ukraine – all of which have been used to strike populated areas like Kyiv and Zaporizhzhya. The DPRK is preparing to transfer even more ballistic missiles. We also have information a large number of DPRK-origin 170-millimeter long-range self-propelled artillery pieces and 240-millimeter long-range multiple rocket launchers are being introduced into the conflict. None of this is without cost. We have information Russia transferred air defense systems to North Korea. Pyongyang is receiving other substantial benefits, like free and subsidized fuel, relieving pressure that constricted the DPRK for decades.”

13. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Dmitry Polyanskiy, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Russian Federation:
“The bankrupt Zelensky regime needs, at any cost, to drag NATO countries into direct conflict with Russia in a battlefield. At any other scenario, he would be facing an irreversible and humiliating defeat that, as demonstrated in the failed Kursk escapade of the Ukrainian head honcho. And the clear collapse of the front in Donbas, that is being pointed out by all military experts. Even Western news agencies have recognized that just last week alone, Russian troops liberated 235 square kilometers of territory, that is a record for 2024. The most powerful regions are collapsing, that was set up by Kyiv since 2014. In the ranks of the Ukrainian military, there's clear panic. The forced mobilized soldiers are fleeing en masse for their positions. It is getting harder and harder for illegitimate president and actor, Zelensky to lie to his people.”

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Sergiy Kyslytsya, Ambassador, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ukraine:
“A recent report from the X community point to satellite images that reveal the DPRK is extending a manufacturing complex in the city of Hamhung. This industrial facility assembles 23 kilometers short range ballistic missiles which Russia has used against Ukraine, including for targeting residential areas and civilian infrastructure.”
16. Wide shot, Security Council
17. SOUNDBITE (English) Sergiy Kyslytsya, Ambassador, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ukraine:
“We reiterate that Pyongyang support comes at a price, and this is an access to Russian technology in missile, nuclear and other military programs. It is crucial to understand that these prices paid not so much by Russia, but by the world in responding to these escalatory steps, it is also important to remember that Putin's future actions will directly depend on the strengths and resolve of our reaction.”
18. Wide shot, Security Council
19. SOUNDBITE (English) Sergiy Kyslytsya, Ambassador, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ukraine:
“Therefore, the response to the Kremlin's current nuclear blackmail and threats must include tougher sanctions and increased military assistance to the party defending itself its people and the principles of UN Charter.”
20. Wide shot, Security Council
21. SOUNDBITE (English) Kim Song, Ambassador to the United Nations, DPRK:
“Russian counterstrike on November 21 is an exercise of the just and legitimate right to self-defense and serves as a serious warning to the US and Western countries and the world media.
The pressing issue to be addressed that the UN Security Council at the present is the act of undermining peace by United States and its allies that are inciting confrontation and conflict among countries, while running amok the strengths of West Alliance and arms build-up driven by the ambition for hegemony.”
22. Wide shot, Security Council
23. SOUNDBITE (English) Sergiy Kyslytsya, Ambassador, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ukraine:
“I forced myself to stay in the chamber, out of respect to this institution, and out of the need to look in the eyes of the representative of DPRK to tell him directly that he represents a criminal regime. That he represents the regime that helps another criminal regime. And that by the end of the day, sooner or later, you and your leadership will end up in the dock, and sooner or later, your people will be free, and then will enjoy democracy and freedom and liberty.”

Storyline

Assistant Secretary-General Miroslav Jenča, addressing the Security Council, underscored the dire toll of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. “The cost of this war is already too high for the people of Ukraine, and for the world – and it is growing by the day,” he said, calling for an end to the “dangerous cycle of escalation.”

Briefing the Security Council today (27 Nov) in New York City, Jenča reported on the latest developments, including the deployment of North Korean troops to Ukraine. He highlighted a November 21 missile strike on Dnipro, describing it as a ballistic intermediate-range Russian missile equipped with six warheads, each carrying six sub-munitions. The missile traveled approximately 1,000 kilometers in just 15 minutes, hitting an industrial area.

The Assistant Secretary-General also drew attention to an unprecedented drone attack by Russia. “Just yesterday, Russia reportedly launched 188 drones against seventeen regions of Ukraine,” he said, describing it as the largest drone deployment in a single attack.

Robert A. Wood, the U.S. Alternate Representative for Special Political Affairs, detailed the extent of North Korea's military involvement. “Russia introduced over 10,000 DPRK troops to the battlefield,” he said, adding that North Korea had unlawfully transferred over 18,000 containers of munitions, over 100 ballistic missiles, and long-range artillery systems to Russia. Wood stated, that in exchange, Pyongyang received air defense systems, fuel, and other benefits. “None of this is without cost,” Wood emphasized.

Russia’s Permanent Representative Dmitry Polyanskiy accused Kyiv of attempting to draw NATO into direct conflict. “The bankrupt Zelensky regime needs, at any cost, to drag NATO countries into direct conflict with Russia,” he asserted, claiming that Russian forces had made significant territorial gains in Donbas.

Ukraine’s Permanent Representative Sergiy Kyslytsya countered, highlighting Russia and North Korea of deepening military ties. He said, “Pyongyang support comes at a price, and this is access to Russian technology in missile, nuclear, and other military programs.” Kyslytsya stressed the need for stronger sanctions and increased military aid to counter Russia’s actions, stating, “The response to the Kremlin’s current nuclear blackmail and threats must include tougher sanctions and increased military assistance.”

North Korea’s UN Ambassador Kim Song defended Russia’s actions, calling the November 21 missile strike “an exercise of the just and legitimate right to self-defense.” He accused the United States and its allies of “undermining peace” through provocations and military buildups.

Kyslytsya, speaking directly to the North Korean representative, said, “You represent a criminal regime that helps another criminal regime. Sooner or later, your people will be free, and then will enjoy democracy and freedom.”
